I'm with Paulm in this Tom so willing to help set up and help with anything that's needs to be done was also thinking that mine would need a second run at some (to be paid for) to iron out any issues. Paul has my number if you need to contact me
I'm only coming for the bacon
and check out the bikes, but I'm local..ish and available to help out on the day or before if needed,just let me know and I can PM my contact details -
I'm restoring a 1990 vj21 and wanted to check what 18" rear tyre choices exist.
What is everyone else using or do I need to find a 17" wheel?

Just checking mate ta

I assume you only mean those folk that booked through you with the discount not the few of us that did it directly??

Glad it's not just me my slabbies coils have died and my leathers have shrunk since last summer

Powerhouse do a good job at a reasonable price compared to adding up the cost of buying all the bits and painting yourself here are some before and after pics

Got them on mine, had no problem fitting them on the frame however needed to modify the underneath of the tank then get it repainted under there afterwards.
If I did it again I'd try the mini ones if you can still get them?
Thanks for the info,if I'd realised the coils were that much bigger would have bought mini ones as you suggest,oh well too late now so need to find a cunning way of fitting without to much drama

I mounted mine horizontally in the stock position with no mods other than bending a couple of bits of metal into brackets as you can only get one hole to line up on each coil. The leads don't foul the tank either. I did take a pic but I need to find it. I don't want to lift the tank off to take another.
This sounds like a good option don't really want to start modifying the tank if I can avoid it,if you can find that pic it would be good mate,not expecting you to start dismantling though

My slabby coils died recently so I managed to convince the boss, that I should replace them with a set a dyna coils and Taylor leads,purchased from grumpy1260.
I removed the tank today and after a short fight with the old screws holding the original coils managed to get the first coil off.
Opened the box with my new coils in and set about dry fitting just to check the fit was ok.
Then came the reason for the post
recommended fit as per the instructions was followed but the buggers won't fit with the original fittings/spacers whatever orientation I try they are either hard up against the frame or need extra spacers at which point the ht lead output fouls the underside of the tank.
Anyone else fitted dyna coils and found a cunning way of getting round this?
BIke is slabby 750H coils are Dyna Dc1-1
Thanks

I need to a comp test anyway so gives me a good excuse to check the plugs at the same time,probably going to check coils and leads before making any carb adjustments just in case its ignition/carb related
any other suggestions/ideas are welcomed
-
Standard jets but will check as you suggest when I'm home on Friday and let you know

Rebuilt my slabby last year and had it running pretty fine,took it out yesterday in the heat and it developed a new problem.
Wouldn't tick-over when hot and stalled at every chance
, when I got it going again it misfired and wouldn't rev cleanly any ideas?
It has previously run perfectly during the cooler months
It's standard apart from exhaust, running VM29s with std airbox with KN replacement filter, carbs ultrasonically cleaned and repair kits fitted.
-
I hope to come down but will be in the car
coils have died on the slabbie so off the road until I have saved for some new ones -
Glad it's sorted

Which carbs / market bike? Doesn't sound like stock UK/JDM 86 750 with a vac tap.
If it is a vac problem the fuel tap will look like this if it doesn't as @banoffee says it can't be stock so may be another problem not fuel flow/vac related, have you tried sticking it on prime and seeing if it runs ok??
-
What model is it?
Had a similar problem on my H model when the vac pipe was split/not fully connected

At this event last year, my mate's LC failed, so they told him to let the engine '"warm up", and then he got it through second time...with slightly fewer rpm too..
Proves my opinion that they're a good bunch
